Quick everybody panic

The disease is usually self-limiting, and characterised by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain; and in some cases, loss of taste. General lethargy, weakness, muscle aches, headache, and low-grade fever may occur.

I've got that too.

My family have all had this in the last week:

Picked up from my sons nursery

I think I've already got it - I've been feeling poorly for the last two days.

You guys should get away from CUK...it spreads when patient is in contact with others...

I knew I shouldn't have bent over in that public shower the other day.

I'd say flu is worse as it takes weeks to recover from proper flu. This vomiting virus is grim for 48 hrs but then we all felt better very quickly afterwards.

I thought the norovirus lasted a week or so. I guess it varies.

I wouldn't fancy tulipting and spewing almost constantly for that long, but I wouldn't fancy feeling crap for a couple of weeks either.

That said, neither of the two things are that serious when your 18-55 and you've got access to modern healthcare.

If you can hold out till August then there will be a vacine but there is a waiting list to get on it.

Depends which pharma company you're contracted to, and whether you are classified as a key worker...

gf read the list last week, she tells me it is all power station workers and police officers at the top, she is 40th which is strange being a front line NHS doctor who will be doing the injections.

I, of course, will be top of the list, I will just get her to pinch one from the pile as soon as they come in.

she is 40th which is strange

It's not strange, it's barmy.

Does that mean 40th on the list at her hospital / clinic, or 40th occupation on the list?

I had wine flu last weekend.

Almost died. Couldn't get Tami-flu for that.

I pulled through nonetheless......

Occupation, all the top people on the list are top civil servants, MOD, key infrastructure etc.

I was asking when I would get mine as having asthma I am always top of the list for the yearly flu jag, she said I was down at the bottom in this one with the rest of the plebs.
